This short passage from the American classic To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee was selected for its ability to recreate a time and place with such clarity that the reader/listener is effortlessly transported in to that setting. In order to further captivate the listener, drawing them in deeper, this excerpt is read with a thick southern drawl far more typical of the time being spoken of than it is today.
The warm smooth read is delivered in a reminiscent tone, the story teller is sharing her impressions and memories of childhood from her adult perspective.
